"Organisation: Corporate Luau Rating: 10/10 Review: Palika Hawaiian Band is amazing. They sure know how to engage the guest and WOW us with their fluidity in song and dance. They would be my first go to when hiring for a Luau. I used them for a corporate event and would use them for a personal event with confidence. Mahalo Pat! • Reviewer: Stacy Kaplan • Event Date: June 7th, 2024 "

"Hired Lewis for my 40th! Hands down an amazing vocalist with a lovely personality, so down to earth! Everyone kept asking where I found him... an incredible mix of songs that everyone loved, exactly what I wanted. The only regret is not booking him for longer! Don’t hesitate, book him now!!!!"

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.

"Denis and the boys were absolutely fantastic! Luckily for our wedding the temperature was up in mid 30s but in mid day sun when they played dancing would have broken out! But it simply wasn’t the weather in full wedding attire! That being said these guys are true masters of the genre they play! And I lost count of how many of our guests commented on their playing. Django, swing, jazz and I think some of their own fine compositions, if you like this type of music BOOK them - you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you gentleman a special band for a special day!"

"Having the Moon and Silver Duo (Angelo and Francesca) perform at our wedding was truly special. Their acoustic music blended beautifully with the atmosphere, never overpowering, always just right. They were kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. We’re so grateful for their contribution and would recommend them to anyone looking to add an elegant and soulful touch to their celebration."

"Me and my husband booked Naked Stereo to play at our wedding anniversary party. The evening was good fun and they had all our close friends and family singing and dancing along to the music! It was an outdoor event and they catered perfectly to the environment and let people use their equipment for speeches and toasts. Really easy going and friendly people to work with. If you have a similar event in mind I would recommend booking them. "

"We would love to thank LOVEAFFAIRE DUO for being part of our event with such professionalism, kindness and high spirits! They were perfect, from the energy they carry to their vocal and musical skills. Her voice is remarkable and so is the selection of music. They followed our music style with integrity but brought a talented twist in the way they presented it. We have the best memories of that night and we thank the LOVEAFFAIRE DUO for that! We strongly recommend them!"

"There is something special about the way Jahangir plays the guitar. His music provided the perfect backdrop for a soothing evening, yet was simultaneously uplifting, harmoniously creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere that captives the audience's attention. I personally look forward to his performances every time I contact him. I wish him the best!"

"I still cannot believe we met The Distance at Janine's party and that they were able to make Fran’s 60th Birthday celebrations last Saturday 10 May 2014 & made his dream of having live music at his party come true. Matt & Sophiee, you were so accommodating and fitted perfectly into our home. All our 80+ guests of family & friends of all ages loved your music and danced the night away. We cannot wait to see you again & Fran is already planning our next party! Fran & Fay xxxx"
